How to Beat Staglord




Take Advantage of Force Palm

Combo Setup
ParryStabHeavy AttackForce PalmHeavy Attack

Force Palm can easily stagger and cancel most of Staglord's combos so make sure to use this whenever you can while also maintaining your Spirit throughout the fight. We recommend using our combo setup as this allows you to consistently deal damage while also staggering Staglord to continue your combo without getting damaged.

How to Unlock Force Palm

Equip and Use Ice Resistance Items

Staglord's boss area is located far up north where it has cold temperatures that can greatly hinder your stamina regeneration for the fight. Make sure to equip a Cloak and prepare Food that provides Ice Resistance so you can reach at least a Lv. 5 Ice Resistance to help you become immune to cold temperatures throughout the fight.

List of All Items

Use Turning Slash Against Him for Big Damage

Saigord the Staglord is incredibly weak to his own attack, Turning Slash Expertise, which is a sword skill you can learn during the boss fight. Try to keep your distance and use the Watch and Learn mechanic to learn the skill and start using it on him to deal burst damage.

Take note that Staglord can still retaliate when you hit him with Expertise so try to avoid spamming the skill too much and only use it when you have an opening.

List of All Skills

Avoid His Red Glint Attacks

Staglord has a wide variety of red glint attacks that can easily shave off your stamina if you try to block it. Focus on dodging and keeping your distance as he starts getting aggressive, while also keeping a look out for his 3-hit combo and whenever he sweeps his shield in front of him as these are red glint attacks that deals huge stamina damage.

List of Saigord the Staglord Moves

Move Details
Expertise
Staglord winds up his sword behind him to execute a large overhead slash and follows-up with another ovehead slash to finish the combo. We recommend keeping your distance from this move and dodging to the side as it can track your position and reach a long range.
Royal Combo
Staglord performs a 3-hit combo with a wide slash into a shield bash, and follows-up into a strong overhead slash while slightly moving forward. This move is a good opportunity to parry and cancel his combo so we can execute our recommended combo setup and shave off a chunk of his health.
Shield Charge
Staglord brings his shield and charges towards you to deal damage and knock you down. You can counter this move by using your own Shield Charge skill to cancel his move and avoid any damage.
